[@Muffffka]

10/10 for me, and I'm a longtime Chelsea fan. Somehow she is still able to bring more layers, more meaning to her signature style. It's totally stands in accord with the title, this album is a travel inside of the fractal, it complicates to the inside in terms of musical composition but it becomes raw and true on the emotional / lyric level. I'm so happy I will see Chelsea performing live in June, bc most of the songs in this album have this unique gothic, haunting ambience which should sound great live. Overall - a masterpiece & on repeat since the release day

[@UnpoisonedSxE]

[@steliosp1770]

those 2 labels might deceive you a bit from what you re about to hear if you re going into this record expecting to hear only influences from those genres/styles but they re there. this is chelsea's most experimental record for sure, and although not the heaviest its still plenty heavy, at times at least, so "be warned" i guess :D

[@fa2lemuelm2]

I will admit this isnt my usual genre, but I gave it a shot! And boy, the atmosphere was quite an experience. Idk if it says a lot about my preference, but Place in the Sun stood out for me, esp with the way it closes out. Few albums can feel like legit auditory experiences rather than just a collection of songs, and i'm proud to say to be part of this moment. I'll check out chelsea's other stuff.

[@Taras-oj4tf]

Listen to Abyss, it does a similar thing with the atmosphere and has amazing production imo. Hope you enjoy

[@vincents9620]

dive deeper her catalog is amazing no genre can describe C.W. she is her own genre 🤘

[@steliosp1770]

yeah i think you need to approach this album as programme music, which in turn means its not going to be her most accessible work especially because its also probably her most experimental record as well with a lot of variety and fluctuation in the genres that appear on it or influence each track etc. if you re new to chelsea you just found what is probably the most important artist of her/our generation. apokalypsis and unknown rooms (2 of her early records) are more accessible/catchy and straight forward (still incredibly brilliant, love them both to bits, although granted, i dont think i ve disliked anything she's put out so far; self-admitted fanboy i guess) and you d probably enjoy them even more than you did this record on first listen at least.

[@damiankarras]

Don’t forget her wonderful duet with creative soulmate Emma Ruth Rundle.

[@theskeptic777]

Here’s another review! As my first Chelsea Wolfe album I ever listened to I did not know what to expect. I heard it on a whim, as I typically do with most female artists nowadays that I eventually fall in love with. But damn, I was NOT expecting this album to take me on a gothic journey. As someone who never had a goth phase but always watched from a far, the differences in music and aesthetics from what I’m used to made it almost intimidating to understand and be apart of. To get the elephant out of the room, I liked 7 out of the 10 tracks from the album. Obvious favorites from the album include Tunnel-Lights, Place In The Sun, and Dusk as the standouts from the album as a whole. I felt a very strong tug against my chest that I hadn’t felt in a while with other alternative albums I had been listening to before this record but goodness did it work. The lyricism and cadence of Ms Wolfe’s voice is something I thought only Ethel Cain could take advantage of. But Chelsea not only has been doing it for about the same time, but has perfected it to a tea in tandem with her astounding production choices for this record. As the SECOND record I heard from this year, it very well may make my end year list… What I want now though is to truly understand her and deep dive into her discography. This may not even be my favorite record from her when I’m done. But we will see… My Rating?: 8/10

[@vincents9620]

[@Juma1st]

After listening to the singles, I expected the album to leave me feeling indifferent, but I ended up loving it. I completely agree with you on the track "unseen world", it's incredible. On her social media, it seemed as if Chelsea Wolfe was going through a rough time in her life since the last album and I'm happy for her that she was able to return with such a strong album.

[@steliosp1770]

in my case, i expected the record to be more like the previous ones that were pretty much almost exclusively doom metal based on what i ve heard from singles or the stuff she put out on youtube with snippets from the album and what not (not against it, in fact i felt in the right headspace for a new record of the kind tbh) but its not just that. its so much more.

[@genesisosuna]

Eyes like nightshade being the worst track is criminal, Anthony. I guess it's a good thing that a song that good could be considered the "worst" on an album, speaks a lot about the quality of the record

[@ekswfrenwn7]

Exactly this. Eyes like nightshade is my least favourite track in this album and it is still a banger, so anyone can imagine how good the other songs are.

[@TeethLikeKnives]

Been a Chelsea fan since Fantano first turned me on to her with his Pain Is Beauty review. I agree that this is probably her best overall album.

[@maknirak]

I really liked this album, after almost forgetting about Chelsea Wolfe ever since I heard Pain is Beauty. Some of her other work I found to be too oppressive for my taste, but this latest record was a lot more listener friendly while still keeping that dark atmosphere that suits her so well.

[@jeffloss18]

I saw her this weekend in Atlanta. She played a lot of these songs. Outstanding performance.

[@jamesw.9256]

Hiss Spun is still her best album IMO, followed by Abyss and Apokalypsis. This one is good, but I'd still place it somewhere after Pain is Beauty

[@Haunting1981]

[@dude554455]

It’s my favorite since abyss but at times i do ask myself when does the song start. Lots of build up and this tension but little payoff. Still I really enjoyed it but felt like some extra beef would have gone a long way. I’m glad I wasn’t the only one who felt a Reznor vibe

[@GuitarbenderS]

yess! my thoughts exactly, her most gripping work since abyss (even though everything in between was also quality). great record.

[@drackaryspt1572]

[@sebastienleroux4872]

I discovered her with ABYSS and it became instantly one of my favorite records. I was delightfully pleased with HISS SPUN, and I loved BLOOD MOON & Ms. PISS so I didn’t really got into BIRTH OF VIOLENCE. But damn this new record is good. Damn. It’s really really good. It’s like a better version of PAIN IS BEAUTY. It’s a little soon to tell if it’s gonna be my favorite record from her but right now I think it comes pretty close to ABYSS for me :)

[@phrjcf]

I found it an intimate album with a comforting atmosphere, so far an album that I really liked this year besides the new one from Future Islands, she keeps getting better

[@AgainstTheeWickedlyMusic]

[@jayloncollins9681]

I’m confused. I don’t think Kanye dropped anything by that name.

[@Milklatte]

Am I missing something or he missed talking about House of Self Undoing? It's crazy since it is one of the best songs in it as well. I'm really glad she and the whole band + Dave Sitek I wish the album would have ended in Place in the Sun. Totally loving her triphop nin era, because she loves that music so she is finally making it her own. This crowns an impressive set of albums she has created. She is my favorite artist for sure
